Egypt Builds Wall Around Israeli Embassy in Cairo
(Reuters) Egypt has walled off Israel's embassy in Cairo after a series of angry protests last month when a demonstrator scaled the building and removed the Israeli flag. Egyptian officials said the 8-foot-high concrete barrier was to protect other residents of the high-rise embassy building. "It is obvious that the reason behind building the wall is to prevent protesters in the future from reaching the embassy and to protect it," said political analyst Mustapha al-Sayyid.
